Police had cordoned off the Clifton Hill entrance across from the container port road. The Estate Profit entrance road across from the Diageo Rum factory was open, but further up that road, an entrance leading inside the Clifton Hill community was also blocked by officers, as detectives were investigating a portion of the crime scene where a white car that had been damaged by bullets had stopped.

Sometime after 6:00 PM, an ambulance carrying the victim who died after being shot while in the vehicle, left the scene. Although two people were in the car, only the female victim was injured, according to police.
